Not quite? Ok so according to the article it is supposed to challenge the status of AUTOSAR. This is something used exclusively in automotive ECUs which most of the time use the operating system shipped with AUTOSAR compliant vendor. This OS is much much simpler than Linux is with totally different design goals and requirements. Think bare-bones no MMU operating system. It would be closer to FreeRTOS than Linux.

However the story does not end here. Together with an operating system the vendor delivers all tooling for development, which includes such gimmicks like visualization of task scheduling in comparison to resource usage. You can inspect worst case scenarios without even running the compiled software and make sure that hard real-time requirements are always met.

Now, this space is dominated by one company from Germany named Vector… You see where this goes.

Source: worked with AUTOSAR many years ago. I hated it because the tooling is so advanced it is mostly point and click programming

It already started happening before LLM AI. Have you heard the joke that we were teaching our parents how to use printers and PCs with mouse and keyboard and now we have to do the same with our children? It’s really not a joke. We are the last generation that have seen it all evolving before our eyes, we know the fundamentals of each layer of abstraction the current technology is built upon. It was natural process for us to learn all of this and now suddenly we expect "fresh people" to grasp 50 years or so of progress in 5 or so years?

Interesting times ahead of us.

Once upon a time I stumbled on a tool called “fsfreeze”. Might be useful.

European companies like Nokia and Ericsson are sitting on a technology enabling direct to cell 5G from LEO satellites. Trials were made. You don’t need fancy terminals, regular cell phone works.

We have ESA and French made fantastic Ariadne rockets. Not reusable, true, but do you doubt if funding was not a problem the same engineers couldn’t make reusable rocket?

iMHO the problem is how can we compete with Starlink and SpaceX both extremely heavily funded by US taxpayers money. We can’t afford to burn money as fast as they can and not be profitable for a long time.

Where’s Euclides?

Not only they wear Nazi insignia, they are basing their whole national identity on Bandera’s legacy, collaboration with nazi germany and UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) known for their genocide on Poles during WW2. They continue to build statues of their genocidal heroes, regularly creating uproar in Polish media which, surprisingly, has no effect on official diplomatic stance or politics (including extension of social programs to include Ukrainian nationals and their children with no control over their whereabouts). One might wonder what kind of dirt SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) has on Polish politicians from both sides of the scene…

Even Ubuntu is fine as a gateway drug. Or Pop Os! Don’t be afraid to recommend easy solutions to Linux beginners who otherwise might not be interested in learning the internals.

Have you even read the links that you use to build an argument?! The Wikipedia page for The Convention itself says that the kind of people on the border with Belarus ARE NOT refugees, they do not match the definition of refugee as defined by The Convention and this problem is highlighted in the article!

The Purge.

Brother for life.

You bet it. I got one toner refill for like $6 for Brother laser printer which is happily chugging along with factory installed drum after 2600 pages printed during over 6 year period. No DRM, no driver drama, and you know what happens to jet printers with such sporadic usage.

We don’t have this kind of trucks in the Europe AT ALL and people still go fishing, do home repairs, carry heavy or large loads. This is all American lifestyle.
